# What You’ll Need:
→ Meat
01 -
1 pound ground beef
→ Vegetables
02 -
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
03 -
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
04 -
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
→ Sauce
05 -
3/4 cup ketchup
06 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
09 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch
10 -
3/4 cup beef broth
→ Fats
11 -
1 tablespoon butter
→ Bread & Cheese
12 -
4 hoagie rolls or buns
13 -
8 slices provolone cheese
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Cook ground beef in a hot skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Stir continuously for 5 to 7 minutes until fully browned with no pink visible. Remove beef from skillet, reserving juices in the pan.
02 -
Thinly slice onion and bell pepper. Finely mince garlic to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
03 -
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Stir occasionally and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables soften and onions become translucent.
04 -
In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth, ensuring the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
05 -
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with sautéed vegetables. Return browned beef to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and coats the mixture evenly.
06 -
Place hoagie rolls cut side up under the broiler for approximately 1 minute to firm up and prevent sogginess. Watch closely to avoid burning.
07 -
Place one slice of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each roll. Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese. Optionally, top with a second cheese slice.
08 -
Return assembled sandwiches to the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Serve immediately while hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Toast rolls prior to filling to maintain structural integrity and prevent sogginess.
02 -
Ensure thorough whisking of sauce ingredients to avoid lumps from cornstarch.
03 -
Carefully monitor broiler progress as the cheese can burn quickly once bubbling.
